What are your thoughts on Herbert Higginbotham?
I absolutely love Higginbotham!! He’s gotta be one of my favourite LBP characters fullstop. He’s criminally underrated and I love his design so much and I honestly wish we got to see way more of him in game. I probably need to draw him more because I really don’t enough.
LBP headcanons because I’m feeling silly rn
- Captain Puds real name is Tom (Short for Thompson)
- Newtons middle name is ‘Plum’ referring to the ‘Plum Pudding’ model of the atom!!
- Avalons favourite science was Biology, Herbert’s Fav was Chemistry, Clive liked Physics and robotics the most!!
- Clive genuinely cares alot about the sackbots and has given them all names.
- Avalon has his own brand of conditioner.
- Popit academy is a private school, but Herb, Clive and Avalon all got in on a scholarship.
- Nana, Captain and Marlon all went to school around the same time.
- Herbert and Avalon are one or two years older than Clive but Avalon took a gap year before going to the popit academy to start up Avalonia.
- Avalon had a scene phase and pretends to have hated it.
- Larry didn’t invent the wheel, he just helped revolutionise it further — a lot like how Avalon didn’t invent science, he just learned how to mix biology and robotics as well as making other massive steps for science.
- Herb, Clive and Avalon were all in a band together. It didn’t last long but it was fun. Clive played guitar, Herb was either on bass or drums and Avalon sung. They tried to get Newton to fill in for whatever instrument Herbert wasn’t playing, but they couldn’t convince him.
- Larry had a band called ‘Principa Metalmatica’ (Metallica parody on one of the stickers). He was basically James Hetfield but newspaper in his younger days, and quit to persue science and teaching.
- Avalon was head boy, 100% attendance.
- Newton would always sleep in and he wouldn’t always wake up for class in time.
- There was a uniform for popit academy!! it was a white collared shirt, a tie with the school colours, either a jumper or a cardigan and the school blazer with black trousers. You would get badges depending on clubs and such, Avalon had wayyy too many badges on his blazer.
- I’ll draw some locker designs and how I think the gang would decorate their lockers.
That’s all for now folks!! May post some more soon :)
I cannot take the Pre-Alpha cutscenes seriously when Clives face looks like this
gonna post some cliveton headcanons soon because cliveton is my OTP and it just makes so much sense to me
oops
honestly fighting the urge to make a comic series focused around popit academy, I’m having a mini popit academy fixation despite there being so little content on it so I’m gonna need to make my own content ig 😭
THIS IS EXACTLY HOW IMAGINED THEM I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH MAN
Aww, how I love young curators when they were schoolchildren ♡
(my personal headcanon to the fact that young Avalon had braces with multi-colored elastics(?), don't hit me. And his eyesight is so bad that he squints even with glasses for vision correction.)
I AM SOBBING
Hey Lois.. remember the time I met CLIVE HANDFORTH
Clive Music Taste headcanons because I can
he said he didn’t like metal music but I’m projecting so I say he actually does and he’s a little embarassed. He likes metalmatica (the band seen in Larry’s place) which is the only canonic band of which I am aware of.
I’d say he’d also enjoy blur (also oasis but idk I feel like he’d prefer blur), weezer, The Kaiser Chiefs (specifically ‘i predict a riot’ and ‘oh my god’.) I think he’d also like REM and U2 because idk. Also other Britrock bands I forgot about. Clive would be a huge fan of depeche mode (I put that on my Clive playlist but forgot to put it in the og post, thanks wander for helping me out there) and kraftwerk.
Nervous this doesn’t feel enough like Clive but this is how I interpret his character so yeah.
(he also defo played guitar when he was younger idk why just yah)
hi I’m Ethan/Clive, and lbp2 is running my life (He/They, Clive fictkin ^^)
